Learn-to-Curl - The Basics
The three hour Learn-to-Curl program covers safety on ice, how to deliver a stone, sweeping,
and some of the terminology used to describe different aspects of the game such as
the "take out," "the draw," and "hurry". Certified instructors will demonstrate and work with
students reviewing the essentials of the game. You will also
learn the rules, scoring, the roles of each player on a curling team, some basic strategy,
and practice making key shots. We will also emphasize the on- and off-ice
etiquette that makes curling a gracious sport.
Please bring warm, loose -fitting clothes and clean flat soled shoes. Dirt, sand, and road salt
play havoc with our curling ice. Sneakers are OK. A hat and gloves make a warm addition,
and we'll provide the rest of the equipment along with great curling ice.
Legalese... A release of liability
(a.k.a. "waivers") may be found on our forms page.
The release for curlers
under the age of 18 really needs to be completed, signed by the appropriate
parent or guardian, and brought with you to the class if the parent or guardian will
not be present. The second one, for those over
the age of 17 may be completed on-site.
Finances. We do charge a fee of $35 for this
training class. Checks are accepted, and cash is always good.
